Men, in business, you will learn A Game Called Get Along. You will title it, "Nobody Is Ever Wrong." To your delight, you will learn that anybody can be, "Not right."
Learn how to talk to everybody. Learn how to request a specific desired action. Learn a specific way to ask for what you want, and to ask to have how you are being treated changed. Coordinate your request with the person you report to, if that is applicable. Give that person time. Even after a person has made a decision, he or she could decide to have a change of mind.
When someone is not right, learn to simply say, "I feel what has happened is not right." Ask, "Can we talk about it?" Add, "I want to get what I have contracted for," "I want (a do over) to continue my place, my job," or "working for or with you," or "I want to understand." Say, "Such and such says this is to be done this way. How do you feel about it?" "How do you think we should handle it," or "What do you think we should do?" Doing this may allow you to find out that Such and such is a dummy, or outdated, or that the information is new, and you have just passed it. A two-to-three week wait to see it done over will not really hurt you.
Get along with everybody. No business skill is more important than this, not even your considerable ability.
Without negating your need to feel a sense of accomplishment, understand that when you are new in place, and with each change you introduce, everyone will go through a transition. Under scrutiny will be your style, opinions, and priorities. These will be used to judge the quality of your work and performance.
Once you have gained respect, and with time, people will be more receptive, and your work will improve dramatically. "Never take other people too seriously."

Remember the purpose of work; “It is to put a roof over your head and beans in the pot,” and (it) is to… retire. A family Elder taught this is very nice. It will make sure you are never truly homeless. The purpose of work however, is to retire twice. It will make sure your can support an advanced quality of life. He did. At 77 he married again, she was 41. At this writing they are still together, he must be 103.
